Latest entires pulled from multiple installations?

I use Feedparser to do this exact same thing. (It is the core code that powers “aggregated sites”, like Planet GNOME.)

If you’re comfortable with getting your hands dirty just a tad, you can have this working quite easily. Actually, come to think of it, you can just use PlanetPlanet. It does exactly what you need.

I use just the basic feed parser to get recent images on my web log from my photolog, and use PlanetPlanet to run an aggregation service of friends’ web logs.

I think only the feed option would work, and it would be as many feeds as many blogs you have. However, you’ll need a feedreader installed for that display page.

If you aren’t looking to re-publish the posts, just display the excerpts, something like CG-FeedRead’s “multifeed” feature can do something like this. You provide a list of feeds, and how many total entries to pull together, and it’ll generate time/date sorted entries across the board. Not super-efficient if you get into double-digits, as it currently re-grabs everything at once. (A future version will grab each in a cycle, and re-build the combined output with each update…)
